Pencil
 
It's Sanford Co-Erase pencil. There're wide range of colours but the Venus art store has Red, Indigo blue and blue only. Anyway, professional animator usually use "Blue" colour. Why Co-Erase? First, it's in colour and easy to erase! Venus is located on Petaling Street, Kuala lumpur.

Eraser Pen Type
 
Usually used for final clean-up process, wiping out tiny mistakes. Malaysian industry dont seem using this tool, bcos they dont do proper clean-up with pencil . Instead they ink the drawings for saving time. Inking will drop the line quality.
